Counter-proposals by October 5
Tamil guerrillas are due to hand over their counter-proposals to the Norwegian facilitators by October 5. The proposals will be handed over to the Norwegians soon after an LTTE delegation led by political wing leader S.P Thamilselvan returns from Northern Ireland where they would be attending a three-day seminar and also consulting foreign legal experts.

The decision to hand over the LTTE's counter-proposals on October 5 comes amidst a flurry of diplomatic visits to the Wanni aimed at persuading them to return to the peace talks.

The latest visit came from Canadian High Commissioner Valerie Raymond who urged the LTTE to return to the negotiating table as soon as possible. Norwegian Deputy Foreign Minister Vidar Helgessen and special envoy Erik Solheim on Friday left for India after a meeting with Mr. Thamilselvan in Kilinochchi.
